New Releases: The Hives Lay Out The Black And White

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) November 12, 2007 3:00 pm
As I type this, I'm surrounded by fog. It's a very gray day, which oddly reminds me of the CD release schedule for the remaining weeks of the year: bleak. There are but a few new records coming out between now and the end of the year (which is to say, not live, Christmas or hits releases), but a couple will hit shelves on Tuesday. The biggest...

New Releases: Buck 65 Has A Situation For You

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) October 29, 2007 4:30 pm
Whilst Buck 65 spends his days in Colorado working a day job, it's kind of funny that few of the people around him know that he's a Canadian national treasure. That reputation will only be furthered by his most comprehensive record to date, Situation, which is out this week. In addition to liquid quick rhymes and stellar beats, look for a guest...

New Releases: Bruce Springsteen Has Your Magic Right Here

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) October 1, 2007 4:30 pm
Honestly, I'm having a hard time focusing on this week's new releases, knowing that we're nine days away from a new Radiohead record. Not just that, a double-disc Radiohead record. It kind of dwarfs whatever else is coming out for the rest of the year. But some artists are putting stuff out over the next few weeks, so I'll try to keep my cool and...

New Releases: Stars Open The Door To Their Bedroom

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) September 24, 2007 4:30 pm
It seems kind of weird to be calling Stars' latest album a new release since it's been commercially available since July. But In Our Bedroom After The War is officially released on Tuesday, and for those five of you who patiently waited all this time to hear it, you're in luck — the hard copy comes with a bonus DVD. Come to think of it, that's...

New Releases: Kevin Drew Brings Social Scene Along For The Ride

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) September 17, 2007 4:00 pm
Kevin Drew hasn't decided that he's too big for Broken Social Scene. Sure, Spirit If... and has his name at the top, but it also says "Broken Social Scene Presents," and there's nothing ambiguous about that. In fact, pretty much everyone in BSS appears on the album, which also features guest appearances from J. Mascis, Spiral StairsTom...

New Releases: Kanye And Fiddy Battle To The Charts

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) September 10, 2007 6:00 pm
The music world is apparently honouring Sept. 11 the only way it knows how: by releasing a bunch of records. Anyway, it's a very big week, so here are some of the titles you can pick up on your way home from work on Tuesday. Kanye West and 50 Cent have been talking shit about each other all summer, with Fiddy boldly proclaiming that if West's...

New Releases: Liars Switch Direction? No Way!

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) August 27, 2007 4:30 pm
It always comes as a bit of a surprise when you listen to a new Liars record and it sounds so different than the last one. So, in a way, it should come as no surprise that their new self-titled LP, out Tuesday, sounds nothing like drone success Drum's Not Dead. It carries on some of Drum's sound, but jams it into more of a rock model. New...

New Releases: The New Pornographers Take On All Comers

in
By CHARTattack Staff August 20, 2007 4:30 pm
You know what? I'm through with Challengers-related puns. The New Pornographers did a clever thing by setting themselves up for a million insanely obvious headlines related to the title of their new album. But besides the one above, you're not going to see another one from this keyboard. No sir. It's a challenge to myself. Oh crap. Challengers,...

Hey guys, remember Sum 41? They were this punk band from Ajax, Ont. who we put on the cover a bunch of times. Maybe you remember them as that band whose guitarist left last year to play metal. It may surprise you to know that our website gets the most hits when we mention the lead singer's name in conjunction with his wife's. Anyway, the pop-punk...

New Releases: Pumpkins To Make Smashing Return?

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) July 9, 2007 4:30 pm
It's been a few (or many, depending on your perspective) years since Billy Corgan's been relevant, so the erstwhile prince of whatever has decided to resurrect his most successful band, The Smashing Pumpkins. Or rather he's decided to bring back the group name and resurrect his career and that of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, because there's no James...

New Releases: Beastie Boys Are Back... Or Are They?

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 25, 2007 4:00 pm
The Beastie Boys are back after a three-year absence. But hold on a second, there are no vocals on this record. The Mix Up is an entirely instrumental disc. Still, let's just be thankful that The Mix Up comes out this week because it usually takes the trio five or six years to get their shit together. Three? That's unheard of for the two Adams...

New Releases: The White Stripes Get Canadians Icky

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 18, 2007 5:00 pm
Usually when a band book an 18-date tour across Canada, it's because they're either Canadian or a journeyman American group who realize there's an untapped market just waiting to pay to see them. The less likely scenario is when a major band book said tour on the heels of the release of one of the most anticipated records of the year. But that's...

Here I was expecting June to be a banner month, but really there's only been a few big names so far. Sure, June 26 is going to be a big day, but every other Tuesday in the month has featured one big title and an epic pile of also-rans. This Tuesday's show horse is Queens Of The Stone Age's Era Vulgaris. The album, produced over much of the last...

You're probably wondering what the headline above has to do with anything. Well, it's like this: one of three things happened this week. 1) The music industry had a busy early May and needs a week off to recover before a busy June that includes releases from The White Stripes, Queens Of The Stone Age and The Chemical Brothers; 2) They forgot...

New Releases: Clock Strikes Midnight For Linkin Park

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 14, 2007 4:00 pm
I always kind of forget that Linkin Park are really, really fuckin' famous until they put out an album. See, they go away for such long periods of time and then tour only briefly, so it's kind of baffling when the albums come out and sell hundreds of thousands of copies in the first weeks they're in stores. Minutes To Midnight, out Tuesday, is...

New Releases: Bjork Takes Out The Volta

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 7, 2007 5:00 pm
The last time we heard from Bjork, she was constructing elaborate symphonic pop using only voices. It turns out that shit is a little hard to reproduce live (see the no touring for Medulla), so she's gone back to big beats and brass for Volta, which also features guests galore. The album, which comes out Tuesday, has production from Timbaland and...

Well, in music industry terms, it pretty much was yesterday. Regardless, they're back this week with Favourite Worst Nightmare, another contradictory...

There are two major releases this Tuesday and not much else. We'll start with the Canadian entry, since it's been a while since we've heard anything new from her. Napanee, Ont.'s Avril Lavigne has spent the past few years redesigning her image and taking lessons on how to be articulate (at least when speaking, if not writing). Now she's back on...

A couple of years ago, the Kaiser Chiefs released Employment and barely elevated themselves above many of the also-rans who came out of the U.K. scene at the time (see: Razorlight). Now they're ready to take another stab at keeping their heads above water with Yours Truly, Angry Mob, which is out Tuesday. Good Charlotte are done with pop-punk...

It's been a dog's age since we've heard anything from Cuff The Duke, but the group's frontman is set to make some noise with his debut solo record. Wayne Petti originally sold City Lights Align as an untitled disc at shows last fall, but Outside liked it enough to get him to clean it up for a proper release.
